> A new posting from The edWeb Team (edWeb.net)
> Join us for the next Implementing the Common Core State Standards webinar!
> 
> Thursday, March 13th – 4PM Eastern Time
> Exploring Depth of Knowledge Three – The “Sweet Spot” for Common Core and Next Generation English Language Arts
> Presented by Kevin Baird, Chairman of the Board at the nonprofit Center for College and Career Readiness
> 
> In This Session
> The largest, most difficult, and most impactful “shift” in Common Core and other “Next Generation” learning standards is the recognition that students must be able to perform at a deeper level of cognition – literally, “depth of knowledge”.
> 
> In mathematics, the majority (~80%) of Common Core and similar standards in mathematics establish “Depth of Knowledge 2:  Skills & Concepts” as the most common level of student performance.  In English Language Arts, “Depth of Knowledge 3: Strategic Thinking & Reasoning” is the most common level of student performance.
> 
> Watch the February webinar, to take the journey to achieving Depth of Knowledge Two.
> 
> Participants will engage in deeper understanding of what “Depth of Knowledge” means and looks like, as well as specific strategies to meet the level of cognitive demand required by next generation and Common Core learning Standards. Pragmatic, real-world, achievable strategies are presented, for immediate use by educators.
> 
> Join us to dive deeper into thinking and cognitive demand, and identify resources to put your students – and teachers – on a pathway for success.

> Monday, March 17th – 4pm Eastern Time
> Game Changing Apps: Student Engagement, Teacher Productivity, and Augmented Reality
> Presented by Two Guys and Some iPads (Drew Minock and Brad Waid)
> 
> In This Session
> In this fun and interesting webinar, Drew Minock and Brad Waid, better known as Two Guys and Some iPads, will share their version of game changing apps for student engagement, teacher productivity, and augmented reality. Drew and Brad will show you how they are using these apps to change the culture and engagement in their own classrooms and school. This session will benefit all grade levels and administrators. The presentation will share examples and experiences with augmented reality. This is happening now! Come see how you can change the game!  Learn. Teach. Lead. Changing the Game!
> 
> As Drew and Brad say, "We do not like presentations that talk about 100 great apps because teachers do not have time to get to #13 much less #100. We focus on 2 apps and augmented reality. We use these 2 apps each week and it has changed the game for us as educators."
